PAY ROLL RECORD DEVICE Filed Oct. l2, 1936 bzothimxm uwD uo meow ence/9 719 Patented Jan. 3, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.

This invention relates to payroll record devices. Objects of the invention are to provide an irnproved payroll record device comprising sheets of paper assembled together so that the adjacent g pages of each two sheets will cooperate to receive the complete payroll records for the period of time to which the sheets are devoted, as well as additional records; to provide means for holding the sheets in assembled relationship so that deo ned spaces on each two adjacent pages are alined with spaces at the left of the rst sheet designed and adapted to receive the names of the employees; and to provide physical structure Whereby the free edge of each sheet may be folded along a vertical line to expose the names entered in the marginal column of a preceding sheet, making it unnecessary to enter the names on the margins of the successive sheets excepting when changes in the personnel of the employees are made.

Other objects will be apparent from the following description, reference being made to the anneXed drawing, in which- Fig. 1 is a plan view of two cooperating sheets illustrating important features of the invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view of a portion of one of the sheets.

The sheet I has one edge attached to holders 2 so that said sheet may be laid flatwise to expose either page thereof. Near the free edge of the second page of the sheet I a vertical column of horizontal spaces 3 is formed and is designed to receive the names of the employees. Vertical columns 4 are designated by symbols at the top thereof indicating the days of the week, and are designed to receive records of the daily units or hours worked by the respective employees. Ad-

jacent to the columns d and toward the attached edge of the sheet I a column 5 is formed to receive records of the total hours or units worked by the respective employees, and an additional column 6 receives records of the rate of payment, whether by hours or by units. Other vertical columns 'I receive records of the wages or remuneration, and

a column 8 adjacent to the attached edge of the sheet I receives records of the total remuneration received by the respective employees.

The sheet 9 has horizontal spaces therein in alinement with the horizontal spaces on the sheet I, and one edge of the sheet 9 is attached to the fasteners 2 so that said sheet 9 may be laid flat- Wise with the horizontal spaces thereon in continuation or in alinernent with the respective horizontal spaces on the sheet I.

Various vertical columns I0, II, I2, I3, I4, I5,

I6, I1, I8, I9, 20, 2l, 22 and 23 are provided on the page of the sheet 9 that is toward the sheet I, and are designed and adapted to receive records as designated at the upper ends of said columns. An additional vertical column 24 is provided at the free Yedge of the sheet 9 to receive appro- 5 priate records appertaining to the respective employees.

The opposite page of sheet 9 is a duplicate of the illustrated page of sheet I. The sheet 9 has a fold or severance line 25 which registers with 10 the line 26 on sheet I when the sheet 9 is laid upon the sheet I. This fold or severance line may consist of perforations through the sheet 9 so that the marginal portion of the free edge of the sheet 9 may be folded under to expose the 15 names contained in the column 3, making it unnecessary to enter the names on the vertical column of sheet 9 corresponding to the column 3.

It should be apparent that this payroll record device comprising cooperating sheets held to- 20 gether with alined spaces so that they may be turned to the position shown in Fig. 1 or laid one upon the other with the marginal edge of the superimposed sheet folded under or severed, constitutes a facility for practical use and a real 25 convenience. It is unnecessary to duplicate entry of the names upon the respective sheets or to make more than one record of the names excepting when a change in the personnel of the employees occurs. Then the marginal portion 24 30 of the sheet 2 may be left unfolded or extended in the manner of the marginal portion 3 of the sheet I and receive entries of the names of the employees in a like manner in which the names are entered in column 3. 35

Different columnar spaces may be provided to meet different needs or requirements, and I do not restrict myself unessentially in this or other respects.
